Thread: Rifle and Optics Snobs

Had the Nightforce and S&B scopes and figured they make better boat anchors. Use euro glass for clarity, and reliable dial function but at practical size (500grms)

Rifles are simple rem actions, but carbon stocks for weight.

Practical is what I want, been down the rabbit hole of long range rigs that weigh a ton.

When I see these big rigs with thumping scopes it reminds me they still have a bit to learn. Certainly not envious….walked that road before.

Also use swaro binos and Leica rangefinder, why? Because I spend 99% of my day behind them and frankly a $500 pair of binos do not compare.

PS I don’t own a piece of camo or hunter branded clothing��

What he said. I use swarovski glass scopes and binos . Both my deer rifles are tikka actions on carbon stocks - lightweight and extremely accurate. Apart from good boots , pack and sleeping bag i look like the homeless bum most of the time in the hills . Have even taken to cutting strips off clothing when ive run out of bog roll ! Camo is generally for duck shooting .
